The Nationalist Party disassociated from a claim within a 1,500-page dossier by the man blamed for the massacre in Norway that it was anti-immigration.

The dossier "2083: A European declaration of Independence" includes a long list of organisations and political parties around Europe, which the author said were anti-immigration or far right.

The list includes Malta's Nationalist Party, Imperium Europa, Viva Malta and Azzjoni Nazzjonali.

In a statement, the PN said that Anders Behring Breivik made a completely wrong analyses mistaking the party's name for its policies.

"The PN's position on immigration is clear - people's life and dignity supercedes any other interest. The PN celebrates diversity in customs, cultures and skin colour and does not punish them.

"The Nationalist government implemented and will continue to implement this in practice especially when faced with situations of human tragedies of people fleeing terror, wars and famine," the PN said.
